` A. CORPORATION 0F NEW YORK i mun DEvIcE Original No.v1,844,644', dated February 9, 1932, Serial No. 549,339, ledluly 8, 1 931. IApplication for reissue led September 30,

tremely flexible construction so that it may Y be readily bent to conform to the curvature of the neck or head and thus'give the rolled hair a very natural appearance.

Various other objects and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the following description thereof. Y v 1 The improved device, generally speaking, comprises a pair of flexible members between which the hair may be engaged and upon which vit may be wound into a roll, said device having liable end portions or members adapted to Ee bent inwardly to fasten the roll and to secure the device in place in the hair.

While the device is Vintended primarily for use on the natural hair it may also be used in connection with transformations, and it may. besub'ect to various modifications in construction without. departing from the spirit or scope of the invention. A The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawin ,in'which,4 y

Figure 1 is a ront view of the device,

Fig. 2 isa plan view showing the flexible lnembers spread apart for insertion .of the air, l

Fig. 3 is a view showing the device worn in the hair,

Fig. 4 is a .p lanview of the modification, Fig, 5 is a planview of another -modification, and,

Fig. 6 is a similar view of a. further modification. p

The device, in its preferred embodiment as shown in Figures 1 and 2, comprises a pair; of flexible members 1 and 2, one longer ,thingl the other, and fixedly connected together a at 3 by any suitable fastening means. The members 1 and 2 are referably made of covered flexible wire, altffough they may be made of uncovered flexible material, and are adapted to be spread apart as indicated in Figure 1932. -Serial No. 635,697.

2 to receive the ends of the hair. After the hair has been inserted between said members, they are squeezed orpressed together to clamp the hair and are rolled axially to wind up the hair into a roll, puff' or bun as shown in Figure 3. The flexible or pliable end portions or members 4 are then bent inwardly towards and in back of the neck so as to fasten the that when theY device is. worn in the hair,.

thesel ends will be substantially covered by loose portions of the hairv so as to render the device practically invisible.

'f vThe device is .light in weight so that it 'may yberworn comfortably in the hair and is lo'hi hly flexible construction to permit of lits being readily bent lengthwise to conform to thecurvature of the neck or head so as to give the roll a very natural' appearance. To allow for bendin without buckling, the member 2 is pre-fera ly slightly longer between the fastening points 3 than is the companion member '1.I This; construction compensates for 'the ldifferences in radii of the two members oftheneck. n. v v

In the form of the deviceillustrated in Figlires 1 and 2, thefpliable ends- 4 are integral parts of the flexible ymember 1 whereas in the when arched to the curvature modification shown in Figure 4 separate flat pliable extension strips 4 are clamped in between and fastened to the ends ofthe flexited lines, for reception of the hair. Inft'his. modification the flexible'or -pliable end por' tions 4 are preferably provided with pre-5,5 formed bends 6 tofacilitate bending 'offthe I ends in fastening the device'in the hair.

Figure 6 shows a further modification-iii which only one end of the member 2 is xed to the member 1. With'a device of this form, the hair isinserted between the members and thefree end of member 2 is pressed and held vagainst member 1 lwhile the hair is being wound into a roll. One advantage of this form, in com arison with those previously described, is t at it may bevremoved without -iirst' unrolling the hair' and consequently can be used as a curler in addition to its use for both forming and supporting the roll.

What I claim is 1. A device for forming hair in a roll comprisin two flexible members, one longer than the ot er, the shorter member being permanently and rigidly fixed at both ends to the longer vmember intermediate the ends of said longer member to provide pliable projecting end portions on said longerl member, said flexible members being adapted to be spread apart for insertion of the hair, to be pressed Y together to clam the hair, and to be turned axially to wind t e hair into a roll, and said ipliable end portions being adapted to be nt inwardly and under to fasten the roll and -to secure the device in place.

2. A device for forming hair in a roll comprisin g two flexible metallic members permanently and rigidly connected together at two spaced points, sald members being adaptedv to engage the hair in between said spaced points and to be turned axially as a unit to lic end members fixed to said flexible members adjacent their points of connection, said pliable end members bein adapted to be bent inwardly and under to asten the roll an to secure the device in place. -1 3. A device for formlng hair in a roll comprising two flexible metallic members permanently and rigidly connepted together` at two spaced points, one of lsaid members being sllghtly longer between said points than the ot er to vpermit of curving the device lengthwise without buckling said members,

vnetallic portions projecting outwardly be yond the points of connection, saidopliable projecting portions being adapted to be bent inwardly and under to fasten the roll and to secure the device in place.

6. A device for forming hair in a roll, com prising upper and lower flexible Wire portions connected together at two spaced points along the length of said portions, said flexible wire portions being adapted to engage the hair in between said portions and to be turned axially as a unit to wind the hair thereon, p

and pliable wire portions projecting outwardly beyond the points of connection, said pliable projecting portionsy being adapted to be bent inwardly and under to fasten the roll and to secure the device in place.
